Chapter 349: Alone in a Foreign Land

"The method of alchemy, Master, have you ever learned it?" Before Jiang Zhi, who had already learned the fur of alchemy, could ask, the eldest apprentice Jiang Chengzi asked first.

"Yes, Master, is it possible that you have such good qualifications that you secretly learned while we were unprepared?"

"Master, that's not called stealing, Master's is called hard work. Jiang Chengzi corrected, but ushered in Jiang Feng's big gooseberry, "All of them are quiet, the so-called alchemy method is the experience that is comprehended from Fan Xihai's golden pill." ”

"Oh, I see. Jiang Zhiwen suddenly realized, "In this case, Master only needs to help me find a few Dan Master's Golden Pills, let me concentrate on studying one or two, can I learn this method?" He showed an expression of "I see" on his face, sighed, and nodded incessantly, "It's really a shortcut." ”

"Do you think that Monk Jindan is a mushroom in the grass, which can automatically germinate a bush after the rain?" Jiang Feng criticized angrily, these two stubborn people, they were usually thinking about being lazy, but they were used to it, "No matter how good the method is, it also needs to be practiced in practice before it can become his own skill." ”

"What Master taught. The two of them bowed their heads at the same time, but they still secretly glanced up, and saw that Jiang Feng's face was slightly grim, and then they sat down and got serious.

Jiang Feng did not continue to reprimand the two, and revealed the experience and discernment he had comprehended from Fan Xihai's golden pill, as a loose cultivator without a Taoist sect, Fan Sihai's alchemy method was mostly accumulated over the years by collecting Dan books and continuous attempts. Therefore, what can be left in the memory fragments is more the memory of the wrong method, as well as a small amount of saving materials and increasing the rate of Cheng Dan, these glimpses of the impression, but also contain some of his understanding of the Great Dao, and these precious bits and pieces are the focus of Jiang Feng's teaching.

After hearing this, the two of them seemed to have a feeling in their hearts, but they had not yet reached the level of epiphany, the cultivation of the two was not high, and the comprehension of a prefecture-level monk could not be digested suddenly, and Jiang Feng also knew that they could not pull out the seedlings to help them grow, so they did not urge them to meditate and practice in place, of course, there was also the reason that the cave was occupied and the conditions were limited.

After experiencing the ruins fighting method, the two of them also seemed to realize that their cultivation was not good, after all, they were shocked into the clouds by the Jindan monk Ma Shikai and died of serious injuries, originally when Jiang Feng was at the Xuan level, the two felt that their cultivation was only one realm away from the master, and now that Jiang Feng was promoted to the ground level, the two of them suddenly felt a sharp increase in pressure, and from the eyes of the two of them who seemed to be motivated, Jiang Feng caught a glimpse of a lot of sparks of progress.

I hope to last a little longer, just like those Xuan-level monks in the sect who listen to their own arguments, the difference is that the two of them have been by their side and can often supervise one or two.

"Excuse me, have you seen this?" Jiang Feng remembered his new ability, condensed the "Soul Melting Bead", and took out the bead that had been formed and placed it in front of the two of them.

"Well, it's a bead like this! it's a lot smaller than the one I got out of the cave. Master, where did you get that?"

"I can condense this thing as much as I want. ”

Jiang Feng contemplated this object, and the same bead gathered in his right hand again, but this was also his limit, and he could condense two at most at the same time. At the same time, he released the shadow, and saw that its mottled arm still had not recovered, after this change, it was no longer suitable for latent detection, but it was only dependent on its night vision ability to still be effective, Jiang Feng and it could still share vision, as well as perception.

"These beads, during the days when I was trapped in the cave, occasionally crossed the dark cave and were accepted by the remains of the Sage, but they shimmered with gold or silver. ”

"Hey, then why didn't you say it earlier?" Jiang Chengzi interjected on the side.

"Master didn't ask. ”

This is true, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that he really didn't ask about this matter, and even when he got the two special soul beads before, he didn't ask Jiang Zhi too much, "Is it more frequent?"

"It's not high, although I didn't know the concept of time at the time, but now that I think about it, it should appear once every ten days, which is exactly the time when I ate the rat on my waist and ate it once. ”

"Don't mention the rats!" Jiang Chengzi actually retched a little when he heard this, which made Jiang Feng suspect that he might have been instigated by Jiang Zhiwen to try this thing.

Once in more than ten days, in this way, the believers of the True Spirit Sage should be more than the three of us, Jiang Feng remembered the gathering of the Hundred Medicine Old Immortals, and what he knew, otherwise, the speed of the three of us collecting Yuan Souls for them would not reach this frequency at all, of course, it would not be too much.

"What will happen to that soul bead after it is accepted by the remains of the Sage?"

"Every time the Sage absorbs the Soul Orb, the number of times he speaks in my mind becomes more frequent. But over time, it will return to normal. ”

Absorb the remnants of the Soul Melting Orb and get a brief recovery?

Jiang Feng immediately had such a concept in his heart, but this was just a guess, Jiang Zhiwen's cultivation was too low, and he might not be able to detect the true changes of the True Spirit Sage, everything, after going to the Hundred Medicine Mountain Villa and meeting the two "senior brothers" on January 28, might be revealed. But

Before that, he might need to visit the cave with Qiu Nanjia, but now that the cooperation in Beimu County has stopped, if the other party can't come up with enough favorable conditions, Jiang Feng will definitely refuse to take the risk to go along.

dismissed the two apprentices, ordered them to sell the spirit stone ore obtained from the ruins near Luochuan, and additionally instructed them not to dump in a shop, Jiang Feng returned to the mansion alone, but saw Zhou Xing, the county guard of Donghu County, waiting outside the mansion.

"How long have you waited?" Zhou Xing didn't seem to go to the cave to cultivate and taste what he had gained before, but kept waiting here, "Why don't you call me?" Jiang Feng turned to ask Zhang Yang, who didn't come out in the Wind and Rain Building, he knew.

"I'm begging him not to bother you. Zhou Xing excused him, "There is nothing urgent." ”

"Come in and sit. Jiang Feng introduced it into the inner mansion of the head of the house, and when the little maid served the spiritual tea, he asked bluntly, "How is everything in Donghu County?"

"Don't worry, everything is going well, and this year's tax revenue is 30% higher than I expected. ”

"Work hard, don't be too yourself and your subordinates, properly extract some taxes, improve conditions and life, and of course, just have clear accounts. ”

"Yes!" Zhou Xing nodded, he didn't dwell on this matter, he was originally a straightforward character, "Master, I'm here to take a month off." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Feng was quite surprised, in the intention that Zhou Xing was a loyal person, in the reports of the Sixth Division, it was often mentioned that he was good at official business, forgot to sleep and eat, and now he is on leave, why is it, but looking at his expression is slightly haggard, Xu is busy with general affairs, which has dragged down his body, "It's good to rest for a while, just cultivate in Luochuan for a few days, and realize the avenue." ”

"The boss misunderstood. Zhou Xing stood up, "I want to take leave and go back to the hometown of the Hanshan Sect to live for a while." ”

"I want to hear about it. ”

"I was actually raised by the elder brother, and twenty-five years ago, he died of a serious illness, and every five years, I would take the time to put aside all my official duties and guard his grave for a month. Now, the five-year period has come again, and the children of the clan have all come to the Asakan Sect with me, leaving him alone in a foreign land, and I feel uneasy, so I often can't sleep at night. Therefore ......"

"No problem. I ...... to repair the book" Jiang Feng just wanted to say that he would repair the book, but then he remembered that he was determined not to write letters at will, so he changed his mind, "I asked Elder Wu to go with you, he just happened to have some things, he had to communicate with the Imperial Wind Sect, and it must be more convenient to go as a foreign affairs officer." ”

"Thank you so much, sir. Zhou Xingxing made a big salute to express his gratitude, and after being promoted to the prefecture level, Jiang Feng found that the elders and monks in the sect were more solemn in their manners, which was the extra deterrent brought by the improvement of the realm.

"It doesn't have to be that way. What are your plans for the affairs of Donghu County? Who in the sect can serve for you for a while?"

"I recommend Wei Ruoqi Wei Daoyou, when preparing for the Ascending Immortal Conference, he has been to Donghu County several times, he is rigorous and meticulous, and he does not show favoritism, I think he may be able to handle this matter well. ”

"It's okay, then let him guard Donghu County for a while. Since Zhou Xing had a candidate recommended by himself and was acting as an agent, Jiang Feng did not have a favorite candidate, so he respected Zhou Xing's opinion and talked about it again, and Zhou Xing presented several of Jiang Yunqi's belongings.

"Yun Qi doesn't usually carry all the magic weapons with him, but only selects up to three, I once asked him, and he said that this way he can figure out different fighting techniques, so the remaining three things are left in Donghu County. Sir, do you have any news of him?"

"Not yet, but it shouldn't be fine. Jiang Feng still has some confidence in this apprentice who has the skill of "danger prediction", and although he is sometimes stubborn, he knows in his heart that he will adapt to the situation, and he will not hit the south wall and do not know how to turn back.

"Yunqi is in East Lake, I am busy with general affairs on weekdays, but the number of guidance is less, when I find him, it is better to bring him back to Luochuan to cultivate, I saw Lu Tianming and Lu Daoyou brought by Mrs. Su, and it seems that he also has some experience and skills for preaching and teaching, if you are busy with everything, it is better to ask him. ”

"Oh, how can you see it?" Lu Tianming has not been here for a long time, and he is not familiar with Zhou Xing, and his cooperation is limited to the case of arresting Zhong Shan.

"When he captured Zhong Shan, he once participated in the fighting method, although the means were really average, but afterwards, he instructed several spirit-level juniors, I asked them privately, and they said that Lu Tianming's guidance really hit the key. ”

Oh to say, although this Xuan-level triple Lu Tianming is not good at cultivation, but in terms of preaching and solving doubts, Zhou Xing handed over his disciple Jiang Yunqi to Lu Tianming's suggestion to cultivate, although Jiang Feng did not agree with it, but the situation that Chen said aroused Jiang Feng's interest, if this person can stay in the shallow mountain, he can more or less share the pressure of the Elder Wei Ruoguang, and Wei Ruoguang, who is closest to the prefecture level in the sect, if he can get out for a while, maybe the avenue can go further as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea, it is not that there is no suitable position in the sect

If you can find a suitable reason to let these "old people" have the possibility of getting out for a short time, then the newcomer will not have a place to use, the idea seems very simple at first glance, but if you want to satisfy the "old man" and the "newcomer" feel at ease, you must show enough sincerity. Thinking of this, several ideas came to Jiang Feng's mind.

Sending away Zhou Xing, who received a satisfactory answer, Jiang Feng picked up a small shield used by Jiang Yunqi, and looked at its rough and dull surface, a trace of bitterness welled up in his heart, this apprentice, lacking his own care, was indeed a little bitter, of course, it could also be that the spirit stone given to him did not have flowers, set up a small array, and found another useless low-level magic weapon at random, and prepared to use the "borrowing material and turning shadow" skill for divination.

However, he immediately had an enlightenment, and sacrificed the "phantom protection body", the new skills brought about by the change of the shadow, although it does not account for the number of his skills, but the shadow also lost the ability to hide and detect, I don't know what to count as a loss, in short, the status quo is like this, and I can only accept it.

"Where is the owner of this thing!"

The empty shadow emerged, gradually converging into a clear picture, after the upgrade of "borrowing the shadow of things", he could peek into a wider range, and the first thing Jiang Feng saw this time was the blue sea.

The tide is surging, the picture gradually zooms in, and it comes to a fairly vast beach, the sand is all pure white, and the seabirds in the distance are flying, as if they are ordinary wrestlers, are carrying all kinds of materials to a large ship that is sixty feet long, and those materials are all packed in a three-foot-long and wide wooden box, and it is impossible to see what is hidden inside. On the lookout platform above these wharf wrestlers, there stood a figure wrapped in a white robe, who was his apprentice Jiang Yunqi.

Did he go to the beach? Jiang Feng immediately came to his senses.

............

Qing Yuzong, Lou Bincheng.

This is the first port of the Qing Yu Sect, and this is the case after Yilan City was assigned to Tianluomen. It's just that the facilities here are far from being as good as Yilan City, which has been under construction for many years, and many places are still being expanded and renovated.

Jiang Yunqi has been sent here as an errand for half a month, and in this difficult half month, he has become familiar with every street and alley here, every fishing port, and has also come into contact with many people of all kinds, including Taoist friends, officials, ordinary people, and passers-by, all of whom are for profit, completely different from himself.

He didn't choose, as one of the ten young elite children selected by Elder Chen Kun Chen, he, like the other nine, was sent to various places to serve as a supervisor, this position is not big, but he has the power to find problems and report directly to Elder Chen, for this "second master", the city lords and monks from all over the Qingyu Sect, they all know the importance of his every word, second only to the head Wan Yu Pavilion, and even many times, more than the other party. Therefore, Chen Kun, like other friends, received quite a grand courtesy here, such as the black-faced little girl with a bamboo umbrella behind him, who kept a hot sweat, and the spirit tea and spirit fruit that were ready at any time, and even two personal maids who came and went as soon as he wanted.

No, the master won't agree, Jiang Yunqi glanced at it secretly, wiped the saliva that inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the senior brother also said that he had to find someone he liked, otherwise, how different would it be from a demon beast?

The purpose of the supervision is very clear and clear, punishing lawlessness, as Elder Chen's "cronies", he knows the situation of this sect's big treasury, and he is not very optimistic, this kind of thing is easy to deduce, for example, the tribute has not been exchanged for a long time, and the salary is often paid a few days later, although for him, the elite, there is no problem of late payment of salary, but after he came to this port, he has encountered more than one complaint about this matter, which shows that this kind of thing is widespread. However, some people have been hit by the "heart demon seed" with strange effects, and they can only complain.

In fact, as the managers of this port-type city, they have many ways to enrich themselves, and Jiang Yunqi found more than one, but he didn't want to care, because he knew that he was a stranger, and he was just a hurried passer-by here.

Just now, he felt more than a stream of prying eyes, he knew that he was also being watched, in this strange sect, this is a common thing, if you want to be in a good mood, you can only pretend not to see them. After figuring out the distribution of the docks here and the direction of the merchant ships, he had found a suspected way to escape.

There is a cargo ship going to Tianyin Temple, every four days, it will enter the port, if you can quietly board that ship, you can detour to Tianyin Temple, back to the Asshan Sect, although the road is difficult and difficult, but it is much safer than leaving through the hinterland of the Qingyu Sect. Of course, there is a ship leading to Tianluomen, but even if you get to Tianluomen, the detour back to the Qianshan Sect is too far, and it will only increase the variables.

Tonight is the time when he chooses a cargo ship to enter the port again.

Just as he was about to jump off the lookout, looking for an opportunity to escape the watchers who didn't know where to hide, he caught a glimpse of several handsome, surprisingly thin men walking slowly towards him.

Why did it come again, he suddenly felt a headache.
